Characters Introduced In The Force Awakens
Portrayed by: John BoyegaHe had the callsign "FN2187", strongly implying that "Finn" is simply an alias.
- Aerith and Bob: Continues the proud Star Wars tradition of mixing real-sounding names with Space Opera ones. We've got Rey, Kylo Ren, Poe Dameron, and Finn. However, given his callsign, it is likely that this is simply an alias and that his real name may be more complicated.
- Bloody Handprint: Has one on his Stormtrooper helmet during the second trailer.
- Cool Sword: Wields Anakin Skywalker's blue lightsaber for a duel with Kylo Ren.
- From Nobody to Nightmare: Inverted. He goes from just another faceless Stormtrooper to a hero fighting the entire First Order.
- Heel-Face Turn: He ditches the First Order early on.
- Jump Scare: In the trailer, a still shot of the Jakku desert is interrupted by him popping up in shock.
- Line-of-Sight Name: Finn seems to be derived from "FN", the first two letters of his callsign.
- Mook: He was a Stormtrooper for a while.
- Overly Nervous Flop Sweat: Several scenes show him sweating profusely.
- Redemption Promotion: In the First Order, he was an interchangeable Mook. On the side of the Resistance, he's becoming a hero.
Portrayed by: Daisy Ridley
- Action Girl: Rey utilizes her staff as a weapon in a style similar to the real-world martial art of bōjutsu.
- Cool Car: Her speeder counts as a futuristic variant.
- Gender-Blender Name: Rey is a name befitting to a woman who has masculine traits.
- Internal Homage: Like Anakin and Luke before her, Rey is a major character living a hard-scrabble life on a desert planet.
- Simple Staff: She is seen wielding one in the second teaser.
- Shout-Out: The character's production name, "Kira", was a nod to Akira Kurosawa, a major influence on the movies. "Rey" is likewise a nod to the longtime publisher of Star Wars books, Del Rey.
Poe Dameron
Poe Dameron
Portrayed by: Oscar Isaac
Appears in: Moving Targetnote | The Force AwakensThe son of Rebel Alliance Spec Force soldier Kes Dameron and A-Wing pilot Shara Bey; Poe Dameron is an X-wing pilot sent on a mission by Princess Leia. He eventually meets up with Finn and Rey.
- Ace Pilot: Oscar Isaac describes him as the "best frickin' pilot in the galaxy".
- Bilingual Bonus: The (upside-down) lettering on his vest reads "Pull to Inflate."
- Cool Starship: Pilots one of the quintessential examples, an X-wing.
- Generation Xerox: He is a Resistance soldier and hand-picked agent of Princess Leia whose parents fought with Han and Leia in the Battle of Endor thirty years ago.
- In the Blood: His mother was an A-Wing pilot who fought at the Battle of Endor, so piloting fighters for the Rebels is literally in his blood.
- La Résistance: His uniform and X-wing mark him as a member of the Resistance.
- Military Brat: Both of his parents were Rebel Alliance / New Republic military.
- Wing Man: He flies with several.
- Do-Anything Robot: The droid is slated to be the R2-D2 of the Sequel Trilogy.
- Kid-Appeal Character: Small, cute, and makes a popular toy.
- Mix-and-Match Critter: Has the head of an R2 droid floating on a rotating sphere.
- Robot Buddy: The droid apparently serves as this to Poe.
Maz Kanata
Maz Kanata
Portrayed by: Lupita Nyong'o
- Serkis Folk: She is computer generated.
- Space Pirates: She leads a crew of them.
The First Order
Supreme Leader Snoke
Portrayed by: Andy Serkis
- Big Bad: As the Supreme Leader of the First Order, he is bound to be the primary antagonist of the Sequel Trilogy - although The Force Awakens places a much larger amount of focus on Kylo Ren.
- The Emperor: The Supreme Leader designation suggests he holds this position in the First Order.
- Evil Sorcerer/Sorcerous Overlord: The "Awakening" speech heavily implies he is a Force-user.
- Evil Sounds Deep: His voice is heard in the first teaser.
- The Man Behind the Man: Kylo Ren appears more prominently in the story, however, Snoke is the Big Bad, while Kylo Ren is merely The Heavy.
- Meaningful Name: Snoke is an Americanized form of Dutch Snoek, a nickname meaning pike, a type of carnivorous fish.
- Serkis Folk: Unsurprisingly, given that the Trope Namer often is cast in these kinds of roles.
- Token Non-Human: The infamously speciesist Empire/First Order has a non-human at its reigns.
Kylo Ren
Kylo Ren
Portrayed by: Adam Driver
- Black Cloak: He wears one that appears to be a bit tattered and torn.
- Black Knight: Much in the same way as Darth Vader before him, and Kylo actually was part of the Knights of Ren before joining the First Order.
- Cool Sword: An unstable lightsaber that is distinguished by its crossguards, refereed as the "Junk Lightsaber".
- Creepy Monotone: In stark contrast to his insanely violent behavior, he talks in a quiet, soft-spoken manner.
- Darth Vader Clone: Concept art and early molds of Ren's action figure make it appear as though he's trying to model himself after Darth Vader in some fashion, complete with a mask. New images show that he has a perfectly normal human face under the mask, meaning that unlike Vader, he doesn't need it to live. It's also justified, as Kylo Ren is obsessed with the man.
- Evil Counterpart: A recent Entertainment Weekly article pretty much spells out he is a Dark Side, pro-Imperial version of Luke Skywalker.
- Evil Sounds Deep: His mask slightly augments his already-deep voice - much like Vader himself, but with a more natural, soft-spoken standard American accent rather than Vader's loud, theatrical Southern accent.
- From Nobody to Nightmare: It's heavily hinted that Kylo comes from no means and rose from obscurity to his present status in the galaxy.
- The Heavy: Shots from the second teaser show him leading Stormtroopers. Promotion materials make him out the major force of evil in the film, but not the ultimate; again, much like Vader.
- Large And In Charge: Is played by the 6'4 ft tall Adam Driver.
- Malevolent Masked Men: He wears a mask that shares similarities in design with Darth Vader's mask and Stormtrooper helmets, as well as the one worn by Revan.
- Meaningful Name: His name signifies that he is, or was, a member of the Knights of Ren.
- Mythology Gag: Possibly. His name is very similar to a Villain of the Week from the old Droids cartoon, who was named Kybo Ren.
- Obviously Evil: Cloaked in black, masked, skulking about, and wielding a red lightsaber, it's not subtle at all that he's a bad guy.
- Unskilled, but Strong: Kylo is at the very least competent in the Force, however, he lacks formal training, hence why the crossguard lightsaber he built is slightly unstable and shoddy.
- Villain with Good Publicity: Is stated to be a "hero" from the perspective of the First Order.
General Hux
Portrayed by: Domhnall Gleeson
- Blond Guys Are Evil: Well, he is blond and Domhnall Gleeson summed up his character's motives with the words "I'm evil".
- Coat Cape: Sports this look in the promotional image released.
- Good-Looking Privates: For a professional soldier and a general he is rather young and Domhnall Gleeson has a large female fanbase for a reason.
- Putting on the Reich: His First Order uniform is about one step removed from an SS uniform.
Captain Phasma
Portrayed by: Gwendoline Christie
- Badass Cape: A real nice black one with red trim.
- Chrome Champion: Well, she has chrome armor and she is a cut above the regular stormtroopers.
- Large And In Charge: Is played by the 6'3" Gwendoline Christie and appears to be of elite status to boot.
- Machine Monotone: When not utilizing strong emotion, her regular voice sounds machine-like through her helmet creating a reverberation.
- Mook Lieutenant: She is a stormtrooper officer after all - but it remains to be seen if she averts this.
- Shout-Out: In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, J. J. Abrams mentioned that Phasma is named after the Phantasm film series, with the chrome armor reminding Abrams of the Tall Man's spheres.

Toronto 2012: Going Raunchy in 'Spring Breakers' Has Selena Gomez Stressed
"It's hard for people to take me seriously that way, because of the brand that I've been given," the Disney star told a festival press conference Friday.
TORONTO -- Selena Gomez has a dilemma that's stressing her out.
The singer-actress stars in Harmony Korine's adventure comedy Spring Breakers, which is screening Friday at the Toronto International Film Festival, after bowing in Venice.
Gomez's problem is her young fan base is too young to see the spring-break-gone-wild film when it comes out on commercial release, in reference to its risqué content.
"What I do is for my fans and my shows and my clothing lines, everything is for them," Gomez told reporters at a TIFF press conference Friday.
"And when I took on this movie and all the rest of the films I was a part of this year, I knew they wouldn't be suitable for that generation. It was hard in that aspect," she revealed.
It's worse.
Her good girl persona that sprung from her Disney Channel days and being the girlfriend of pop star Justin Bieber makes it hard for filmgoers to see her as a bikini-clad reveler in Spring Breakers, or in any other racy film roles.
"It's hard for people to take me seriously that way, because of the brand that I've been given, which I¹m thankful for," Gomez said.
"But having people put you in this little box, it's hard to put all of that together and make it right and smooth," she said of balancing her clean TV and pop singer image with adult film roles.
"It's not me breaking out into anything, It's just about me being passionate about the acting I do," she added.
The Toronto International Film Festival continues through Sept. 16.

Twilight: Outdoor vampire victims
To promote the Twilight Book Saga in time with the launch of the new movie, US Sydney went around biting the necks of people in billboards and adshells around Sydney. There wasn't a fashion model in Sydney safe from getting bitten.The trend took off in social media, with fans of Twilight sticking their own red dots on adshells to create vampire victims everywhere.

What is this with people advertising on others. Don´t be so damn cheap.
I agree. If these were my ads I would sue them six ways to Sunday (and I'm NOT a litigious person). This, and that uber-stupid "I'm a Baby" crap that LEECH off of other's paid ad space, are just examples of advertising / marketing at it's worst.
"I love some things, and don't love some other things."
I know this is ambient .. but it would better if the talent in the "ads" were then dead from gotten bitten. Just a thought.
I'm here doing this, but feel I should be there doing that. But to do that, I have to be doing this. Does this make sense or do I have to explain that?

Circle KRead MoreSo established is Circle K Midwest that even brand-new vehicles recognize what its red-and-white logo stands for—fuel, snacks, and everything else a car might need to keep powering down the road with its driver. Circle K's story starts back in 1951, when Fred Hervey bought three Kay's Food Stores in El Paso, Texas. Under his guidance, these three little shops grew into the more than 3,000 convenience stores that crouch on our nation's street corners today. After rolling up to a Circle K, drivers can pump their faithful roadsters full of high-octane fuel and send them skipping through a car wash to experience the cleansing touch of Blue Coral Beyond Green and Rain-X products. Then it's time to step inside the air-conditioned shop for a peek at the provisions. Rows of sodas hibernate behind glass doors, and snacks, candy, and their ATM guardians stand boldly out in the open. Some Circle Ks also offer the Take Away Fresh Café, which presents an appetizing lineup of healthy road fare including sandwiches, fruit cups, and fresh-cut vegetables. Drivers can gear up for a long drive with premium coffees or enjoy a cold Polar Pop, whose specially formulated cup keeps drinks colder thanks to the family of tiny snowmen trapped in its foam walls.1545 South New Florissant RoadFlorissant, MO US

"Wonderful location and comfort"
We really had a great time, the apartment was cozy and comfortable, spacious and very well located. We are a family of four and it was perfect for us
14 May 2013
"Fantastic Stay"
Our stay in this apartment was truly wonderful. The apartment was perfect for our stay and was very large and comfortable. The location is fantastic with 3 metro stops within a 5 minute walk away making all of the sights very accessible. Access to the apartment from the airport or Gare due Nord was also very easy. The twice weekly markets outside the apartment are not to be missed. There are also good restaurants and plenty of shopping options nearby. Having a caretaker onsite was also a great advantage. This apartment is highly recommended and we will certainly stay here again honour next visit to Paris.

"Truly Parisian living."
Apartment perfect for a relaxing romantic stay. Pristeen with all we needed, and a quiet warm retreat after a cold busy day sightseeing. It snowed heavily all weekend but it didn't matter. Lovely and warm with plenty af hot water for showers. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending. The caretaker was lovely and helpful. Can't wait for our next trip! Thanks.

Normally I'm no subliminal criminal
But you get famous if I say your name in the interviews
So I mean it when I say I hope they never remember you
So you finally realize that we're not that into you
Lyric Meaning
Iggy Azalea is subliminally dissing someone (possibly Azalea Banks?) but doing it by not saying who she is dissing. This is because if she were to say that person's name, then that person(s) would get more attention. The biggest diss Iggy can give is by not letting them get that recognition.

This article is part of the Roamin' Dad series.
HELLO!!!!!!!!!! i hope you are starting your new year off right and not like last year which was a bad year and one i am in a race to forget!!
My first job of 2012 was over when we were sitting in Ronny's roofing truck waiting for work to begin and he said he stinks today and we laughed and I said "Yes You Are Like A Knight Of Bad Smells" but he thought i meant a "Night" of bad smells which he thought to be an adult thing and he fired me on the spot so i walked home. then i remembered i left my lunch in his truck and walked back a couple hours later but he ate my lunch too. Boo on Ronny thumbs down.Lunch eater
I also worked at a newspaper phone office calling around asking people if they wanted the paper at their house. it was a bad job because almost everyone said no, then i would say "Well What If I Guarantee It" and most people would still say no but a few people would say "Guarantee What?" and then i would hang up because i don't know
i lost a lot of friends this year as well, most notably the animals at the zoo that i befriended by going every single week for a while. tickets got real expensive so i brought a big orange cooler full of sports drinks from my truck and told the ticket lady "This Is The Medicine For The Baboons" and they let me in for free. then i sat in the back of the zoo drinking all the liquid so they would think the baboons had their medicine and it would take me pretty much all day and i would walk out of there a big bloated man. well i forgot my cooler in the zoo so now i can't do that anymore
List Of Things I Buried In 2012:
I'm done thinking about the year 2012 what a mess!!!!!! Barf!!!!!! GOODBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is the world ready for Staind By Me, St@nd By e-Me, and Crank 3: Stand By Me?
Finally: an advice column for the rest of us! (Who seek to enslave humanity.)

While researching the Mitchell Superintendent controversy started by Cory Heidelberger and now getting coverage by Keloland, I came accross a payment of $2,275 reported in the September 14, 2015 minutes of the Mitchell School district to "Mid Central Ed Coop" for "SD Inovative Lab days". I then found the "South Dakota's Innovation Lab Pilot Report" subtitled, "The Transformation of Rural Education" that was copyrighted in 2014 by South Dakota Innovative Lab and the PAST Foundation. On page 6 we learn:
In 2010, a conversation took place between Dan Guericke, the Mid-Central Educational director and Dr. Melody Schopp, South Dakota's Secretary of Education. It was a conversation they would have many times. The gist of the conversation was that the format of education needed to change. The successful industrial model of the 1880s is obsolete. The criteria still employed by schools is producing students who fit the model of efficiency for the early 20th century, not the early 21st century. Schopp challenged Guericke to create a new model, tailored to rural South Dakota. Guericke accepted the challenge.
Guericke looked to his own educational cooperative to develop a plan. His goal was to bring the best of education to the rural schools pulling from best practices, not simply popular norms. By 2011 he convinced four, Mid-Central school districts to pilot the SDIL/PAST TPBL model in order to inaugurate the change and opportunities he sought for South Dakota students. The pilot communities Armour, Platte, Bonesteel, and Wessington Springs had a common, yet unique element. The relative size (~24 teachers, and <200 students K-12), a rural environment, and a high percentage of low-income families, allowed the schools to save energies and resources by combining efforts. The uniqueness and cultural diversity within each school allowed each school to shape their curriculum into its own version of the 21st Century School. All of this was possible with the expertise and partnership of Sanford PROMISE and Sanford Research, leaders of the state Department of Education, Mid-Central Educational Cooperative, and the PAST Foundation.
Take note that 2010 was also the year that the Rounds adminstration sucessfully had the Common Core standards approved by the South Dakota State Board of Education before reading more details found on page 8 of the pilot report:
The success of the current SDIL schools lies in four key partnerships. Sanford Research, MCEC (Mid Central Educational COOP), the system transformation and education expertise of the PAST Foundation, and the flexibility of the South Dakota Department of Education have helped the transformation of the pilot schools.
1. Mid-Central Education Cooperative is the foundation in this public/private partnership. MCEC helps the other partners and the schools involved to understand and develop ownership of the vision of the developed. Along with this we have the responsibility of supporting the deployment and evaluation of this change process. We also have the role of researching, evaluating and securing of resources to support this process, both human and financial. It is also our role to provide leadership and to support all members of the team both in positive as well as not so positive situations."
2. Sanford Research offers a deep informed engagement from the corporate world of health and wellness. Their education initiative, Sanford PROMISE, has a mission to increase the community's understanding of science and their awareness about the benefits of research to society. The Sanford PROMISE's role in the SDIL Initiative is to provide rich content/ curriculum resources as well as access to equipment and expertise. Through this partnership, students have at their disposal equipment and expertise that is unheard of in a small, rural school's lab. Students synthesize DNA and access a real, working lab to increase hands-on knowledge and access to materials that most rural school districts could not afford. In addition, Sanford Research opens its labs and offers to students an on-site experience in a working research lab.
3. The PAST Foundation offers a transformative education model that embraces community and geography. The model is a replicable process that is flexible and takes on a community's tenor and belief, delivering rigorous education in a holistic and customized way. By partnering anthropology with science and technology, PAST invites the world to design, construct and engage in experiences that link learning to life. The PAST foundation's partnership in this initiative is to provide ongoing professional development and assistance to participating schools and teachers.
4. The South Dakota Department of Education (SD DOE) made it possible for rural school districts to work collaboratively. Their leadership helps participating schools navigate state requirements that might impede innovation, supports alternative professional development, and provides technical assistance. Without the assistance of the SD DOE, Innovation Lab school districts would not have been able to proceed. Dr. Melody Schopp, SD Secretary of Education, called TPBL "an ambitious effort" in her August 2011 column for the DOE and published as an editorial in the Argus Leader. Schopp praised the Innovation Lab school districts for "their vision and commitment to searching out solutions for their students." The SD DOE cleared a pathway allowing the innovation of TPBL in SD.
On Page 16 we find out that this public/private partnership added two more partners, the Clinton Global Initiative and MCEC's GearUp program:
Leading off the second year, SDIL partnered with the Clinton Global Initiative America (CGI America) in a commitment to Redefine Rural and Native American STEM Education. Becoming a CGI partner accomplished a number of positive and powerful things for SDIL. First, it recognized the innovative nature of the Innovation Lab in naming SDIL the only rural educational commitment selected in 2012. Second, it brought to the attention of businesses, communities and other organizations the work of SDIL paving the way for further expansion of the Innovation Lab network.
All aspects of the commitments have had resounding impacts on the evolution and development of the network. Clinton established CGI America to address economic recovery in the United States. CGI America brings together leaders in business, government, and civil society to generate and implement commitments to create jobs, stimulate economic growth, foster innovation, and support workforce development in the United States. Since its first meeting in June 2011, CGI America participants have made more than 160 commitments.
In the second year four more schools were added to SDIL through a partnership with the Native American program GearUP.
Untill recently we have not heard much about SDIL and GearUP. We now know they were administered by MCEC
Most also know little about the Clinton Global Initiaitve and STEM:
The implementation of the Common Core State Standards will provide many opportunities for the private sector to support enhanced STEM learning in the classroom.
Yes, most have heard about Common Core. Page 15 of the pilot report calls Common Core "national standards" and explains how the teachers will be controlled:
At the close of the first year, all faculty from the inaugural four Innovation Lab school districts were given the opportunity to attend TPBL PD bootcamp. In 2012 the Department of Education (SD DOE) also rolled out the Common Core Standards for Language Arts and Math. SDIL proposed to SD DOE an alternative to introducing the national standards, which would fully integrate the practical application of the standards into the PD planning process to help teachers apply the concepts in a practical manner within planned lesson modules. Also, the draft Next Generation Science Standards were introduced to teachers and integrated into the PD planning process. The SDIL process was cross-walked to the State professional development workshops to insure that nothing was missed and state trained coaches from Mid-Central Educational Cooperative who had participated in the Year 1 bootcamp were invited to join the PD and offer in-depth coaching to teachers (Appendix C: Common Core Cross walk for TPBL). The PD bootcamp was then opened to schools, outside the four, SDIL pilots who were invited to participate. The weeklong bootcamp integrated Common Core and Next Gen Science standards, along with Charlotte Danielson's Framework for Effective Teaching into SDIL TPBL planning process.
This provides the real agenda behind transforming rural education via this public/private partnership:
We'd like to believe these claims and efforts can trump the more political uses of the Common Core project. But we can't.
For starters, the misnamed "Common Core State Standards" are not state standards. They're national standards, created by Gates-funded consultants for the National Governors Association (NGA). They were designed, in part, to circumvent federal restrictions on the adoption of a national curriculum, hence the insertion of the word "state" in the brand name. States were coerced into adopting the Common Core by requirements attached to the federal Race to the Top grants and, later, the No Child Left Behind waivers. (This is one reason many conservative groups opposed to any federal role in education policy oppose the Common Core.)
Written mostly by academics and assessment experts—many with ties to testing companies—the Common Core standards have never been fully implemented and tested in real schools anywhere. Of the 135 members on the official Common Core review panels convened by Achieve Inc., the consulting firm that has directed the Common Core project for the NGA, few were classroom teachers or current administrators. Parents were entirely missing. K–12 educators were mostly brought in after the fact to tweak and endorse the standards—and lend legitimacy to the results.
The standards are tied to assessments that are still in development and that must be given on computers many schools don't have.
So under the guise of promoting technology (STEM), the rural schools are are being set up to be controlled by the Common Core national standards whose enforcement requires computers. The aforementioned appendex to the pilot report admits these computer based assessments are designed to force alignment to the standards:
SDIL TPBL forms a toolkit that when used in coordination with existing programs and tools such as Teachscape provide both teachers and administrators with a consistent set of evidence to evaluate and a consistent manner in which to evaluate. Completed TPBL forms, specifically the 2wk planner and the Snapshot, provide detailed information regarding planning, standard alignment, and create the foundational components of SLOs for each project, as well as the baseline comparison for gap assessment against standards-‐based assessment. In short, the SDIL TPBL forms and process are an excellent partner for South Dakota's newest initiatives.
And South Dakota's newest education initiatives are designed to implement the globalist elites' New World Order:
Andrew Gavin Marshall writes, "For the first time in human history, free humanity is faced with the dominating threat of a truly global elite, who have at their hands the technology to impose a truly global system of control: a global scientific dictatorship. The great danger is that through the exponential growth in scientific techniques, elites will use these great new powers to control and dominate all of humanity in such a way that has never before been experienced." [New Eugenics and the Rise of the Global Scientific Dictatorship]
And that control and domination of humanity includes rural South Dakotans and South Dakota Indians thanks to the Melody Schopp, the education cooperative in Platte, and the deception behind the Common Core agenda. And we should also understand that this system of control is being put together by both political parties. Don't let the party activist hacks distract you from that truth.

Just saw this article on the Chevy Volt: http://bottomline.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/09/10/13780299-gm-losing-as-muc...
I'm curious as to how relevant this is to the Model S. My guess would be somewhere in between completely irrelevant and moderately relevant. Obviously, the Model S doesn't have to equip a car with an ICE, so that is a lot of money saved over the Volt. However, not knowing what battery costs are, etc., I thought I would raise the question.
I obviously don't want the price of the Model S to go up :), but would love to make sure the business model is sustainable for decades to come.
This is a non-story. The profit/loss per vehicle is completely dependent on how you allocate the fixed costs and whether you are talking about gross margins, net margins, operating profit, etc. etc. Elon has committed to the market that TM will make 25+% gross margin on every car.
The break-even point for Model S is something around 8000 cars per year (according to Elon).
Well, the pretty cool thing for Tesla Motors is that prices for Li-Ion batteries drop every month - so the margin should increase every month, if the car prices stay constant. That is pretty unique in the industry.
I didn't see any talk of the CAFE standards figured into their equation. Therefore, I don't see this as a complete analysis of the real profit/loss for the company with regard to this specific vehicle.
I think TM's contract with Panasonic probably doesn't provide for monthly adjustments, but the long term trend will be reflected.
TM is selling credits for exceeding emissions standards, if that's what you're referring to.

Eschelon Merchant Services has established a "Win Win" scenario that offers benefits to non-profit organizations and their supporters. By enrolling in our Project Give Back program your foundation can establish a new channel of recurring monthly donations. The business community that supports your foundation can also benefit by taking advantage of special – more... discounted pricing and high levels of customers service reducing their credit card processing expenses.
How it works:
When you partner with Eschelon Merchant Services we will work with you to create a customized marketing program to inform your supporters about Project Give Back. Once we have an approved marketing program we will work with you to contact your foundation's supporters to explain how we can reduce their processing costs and increase their service levels and at the same time establishing a funding raising stream for your organization. For all referred business owners from your organizations supporter list you will receive a percentage of our profits on a monthly recurring basis.

How did you hear about us:
1. What is Project Give Back?
Project Give Back is a unique opportunity to help foundations and non-profit organizations in their fundraising efforts. This program offers foundations the ability to generate contributions from their business patrons at no cost to the foundation through a partnership with Eschelon Merchant Services.
2. How does the program work?
Foundations can receive a percentage of our profits on a monthly, recurring basis for all referred business patrons that select Eschelon payment processing services--providing a new, ongoing stream of donations in support of their mission.
3. What products/services are offered by Eschelon Merchant Services to businesses?
Eschelon provides the services and systems that businesses need in order to process payments for all major credit cards, including Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover, as well as check payments. Our wide-range of payment options, point-of-sale solutions, and superior customer service standards have helped us become one of the fastest growing processors in the industry.
4. What type of businesses can participate in the program?
Any business that accepts credit cards or checks as a form of payment for their products/services can participate.
5. What does my foundation need to do to participate in the program?
Participation in the program requires just a few simple steps. The first thing we need is your endorsement to offer the Project Give Back program to your patrons. Next, we will build a sales/marketing plan, obtain your approval, and then launch the program.
6. Our patron list is confidential. How can we participate in this program and be assured that the patron list will not be utilized for other solicitation purposes.
To ensure complete privacy and confidentiality, Eschelon will sign a non-disclosure/confidentiality agreement that ensures the list will only be used for the Project Give Back program. You may also choose to contact your supports and refer them directly to Eschelon without disclosure of your list. This step will be discussed in great detail during the marketing plan phase.
7. When and how often will my foundation receive contributions?
Your foundation will receive contributions on a monthly basis. Eschelon receives its revenue payments from the major credit cards approximately 20 days after the close of each month and we require 7-10 days for processing and accounting so your organization will receive funds by the last day of each month.
8. How long will my foundation receive contributions?
Your foundation will continue to receive contributions for as long as your foundation participates in the program and/or the referred business uses Eschelon for their payment processing services.
9. How will we know which referred patrons are contributing a portion of their services fees to our foundation?
Eschelon will compile and send you a quarterly report that will provide the total donation amount for each referred/signed business patron. Eschelon will also give the foundation access to portfolio reporting through our proprietary Merchant Exchange tool.
10. How much can my foundation expect to receive from this program?
We will contribute a portion of profits for all referred, signed patrons. The more referred businesses that sign with Eschelon, the more your foundation can receive. Based on the assumption that the foundation's Project Give Back portfolio would have similar profitability characteristics as Eschelon's existing business portfolio, the foundation would receive approximately $1,000 for every $1,000,000 of monthly transaction volume. Please note that actual results will vary for each foundation.
11. Why should our business patrons participate in Project Give Back?
Your business patrons can reduce their payment processing costs and improve their level of service, while also supporting your foundation - at no additional expense. Project Give Back also provides a new solution for businesses that may want to contribute to foundations, but find their philanthropic budgets are limited as a result of today's challenging economy.
12. Why should our foundation participate?
By participating in this program, your organization can establish a new, no-cost channel - and continual donations for your fundraising efforts, while providing a value to your business patrons. This program also provides an innovative approach for foundations to ensure they continue to receive donations from their business patrons.

Love this rug - bright red like the picture so I was not at all disappointed. Looks like it might need to be vacummed a few times because of loose fibers. I don't think it will be a problem at all. Would highly recommend

November 11, the President of the United States himself wrote the regulation to cancel the health insurance of MILLIONS of Americans. And every single Democrat voted for it.
Rand Paul on Obamacare
"I'm still learning about it. It's 20,000 pages of regulations. The Bill was 2,000 pages and I didn't realize this until this week, the whole idea of you losing or getting your insurance cancelled wasn't in the original Obamacare. It was a regulation WRITTEN BY PRESIDENT OBAMA, three months later. So we had a vote, this is before I got up there. The Republicans had a vote to try to cancel that regulation so you COULDN'T BE CANCELLED, to grandfather everybody in. You know what the vote was? Straight party line. EVERY DEMOCRAT VOTED TO KEEP THE RULE THAT CANCELS YOUR INSURANCE."
As the now 20,000 Obamacare pages come home to roost, remind those who have continued to support the Liar-in-Chief, regardless of his crimes, of this simple fact: The man who sits in the Oval Office (when he's not on a golf course), and the Party to which they have pledged their unquestioning allegiance, has now wholly betrayed them. And their children. Source Patriot Action

Forgive me for ansking the blindingly obvious but as a computer newby it isn't to me.
I battled through to a position where I could see the WordPress dashboard (about 8 hours), pressed 'view site' and all I got was a page saying site under construction. I thought I was supposed to see a default theme. How do I get to see a default theme so I can proceed?
I'm hosted by Powweb.com by the way.
Any thoughts gratefully received.

To St Malo the long way .. 40 kms. Last day.
... but returned after 2 kms as it started to rain. It's now thunder and lightening and we feel so thrilled we had such wonderful weather for our entire trip. We ate dinner at a local restaurant which was delicious and now we are getting organised for our ferry sailing tomorrow. We will be thrilled to get back to London as Blake and Sarah have been unwell. The biking was awesome though and every day was brilliant - spectacular scenery and lovely ...
Pontorson to Le Vivier-Sur-Mer 33 kms
It rained a lot during the night, quite loud on our attic roof. We had planned a slower start to the day, but on checking the weather forecast we found there was a window of dry weather between 7 and 11am . We have become very practiced at packing up and loading the bikes and so did it in record time this morning. Downstairs, there was not a person around and no sign of breakfast although it was 7.45am so we decided to head away. We rode out to Mont St Michel along a dedicated bike ...
Lost & found in Brittany & meeting Mont St Michel
Our itinerary says 48 kms today from Fougeres to Pontorson. This morning we were treated to 20 kms of cycle paths through pretty farm land and acres and acres of maize fields. There were a few locals running, biking or walking their dogs but in general really quiet and lovely. It looked like it may have been a rail way track in years gone by and there was the odd tunnel but otherwise no sign of any tracks. Our first stop was at Antrain where we ended up coming into town completely the ...
Travel to the Mont Saint Michel by Riley
... and their parents. We rode on that bus for fifteen minutes and dropped us in a village right before the monte. The village seemed touristy but at the same time seamed not too busy which I really liked. We walked around trying to find our hotel for the better part of a half an hour. Once we found it we realized it was right next to where the bus dropped us off. We got into our hotel and started to kick back in the ...
Hailstones the size of small pebbles
... something was obviously going on as there were Gendarmes all over the place and lots of roads blocked off so we had to make do with a car park with a view of the sea. It was at this point that we realised that I had left behind our chopping board at the last campsite. This did not go down well. If you read the blog a couple of days ago you will remember Jess saying how wonderful I was sorting everything out for that particular day. Well today ...
